Welcome to Ormiston Bridge Academy. We provide a caring environment based on integrity, mutual respect, and understanding. We seek to reignite children’s passion in education and aspiration. Each pupil is treated as an individual and is supported to develop within an environment that develops a love of learning and the ability to create social and emotional skills fit for the world outside of education.
Our school has Key Stage 3 and 4 children and primary-aged children from the borough of Hammersmith and Fulham. We believe that success for our young people comes because of our specialist approach, we are interested in activities that develop all young people’s capabilities; their potential for employability, their ability to have successful healthy relationships, their ability to make safe life choices, thereby enhancing their quality of life and the realisation of their aspirations.
Our approach considers our young people’s education experiences to date, their social-emotional health, and mental health, their family situation and experiences, and their special educational needs (SEN). We work closely with professionals, families, and other practitioners to affect change in our young people’s lives, ensuring our work is holistic and therefore creates success by any means for all our children. We are proud of the work that we do, and the environment of our school is caring supportive, and inclusive. We believe that through this approach we support our children, enhancing their quality of life and promoting the realisation of their aspirations.
“Pupils enjoy coming to Ormiston Bridge. Staff work closely with pupils. They find out about their needs and the barriers to learning they may have had at their previous schools. Pupils said that they know the staff cares about them and their well-being.”
